Papers Please-People of Color; Papers Please
Rachel Maddow extended an invitation to Goldie Taylor to deliver a guest editorial on TRMS. While artfully slicing and dicing Donald T Rump for his birther-based racism and egotistical ignorance, Ms Taylor forcefully presents a personal story that reaches back into the nation’s darkest history of intolerance and bigotry. The full story can be found here www.thegrio.com You can Tweet her @goldietaylor or me @longshoremaniam
This was awesome. While I don’t support Pres Obama on many polices, as I find many to be destructive to the poor, and 3rd world, the racism he experiences is totally unbelievable and saddening. This video was an eye-opener as I hadn’t considered the historic significance of the “birther” movement as it relates to Pres Obama. Seems America, and Fascist systems, will never let racism die, thus oppressed people need a more loving nation/home…
SO CRAZY BUT IT’S TRUE, WHAT A SHAME. THINK THEY WOULD HAVE EVER ASKED BUSH OR MC CAIN TO DO THAT?
…of course it does and always will
Thank you! #dumptrump I didn’t know Trump was so ignorant–very disappointing. Everything Goldie said was truth. President Obama & first lady Michelle are wonderful examples of American values.
WOOOOOWWWW I love it——-Thanks Rachel—–I sent it to all of my friends. All people of color need to understand where Trump stands. Trumps involvement in Lefrak city and hosing for us in general also needs to be revisited. We also need to boycott his show the Apprentice to drop his rating and have it removed from T.V. —–We recognize Nene Leakes and Star but I’m sure they will understand——-besides they are not on the show anymore. Thanks again Rachel.
@unit7531 :
If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if
the U.S. citizen parent has been “physically present”[6] in the U.S. before the child’s birth for a total period of at least five years, and
at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent’s fourteenth birthday. = citizen at birth
8 U.S.C. ยง 1408 as defined. Natural Born isn’t , but is separated for potus eligibility.
At best , he is legally a ” CITIZEN AT BIRTH” = Ineligible
@EDOGZ818 what is a “Natural Born Citizen”? I think you are totally confused about what natural birth is.
Yes racism still exist in America. It sad because there isn’t anything a black man can to to rid himselve from the ignorance. It is still being taught to kids and while they are trying to keep the black man down other race are taking over America’s finances.
I have to show my papers to get a passport. According to this video it is straight up racism for them to even ask for them
Yes, I feel the same way , as a person of Color, I was forced to show my birth certificate when I wanted to flip burgers @ Burger King!
We all know it doesn’t matter if he was born in Hawaii or not , because at best , he ( was ) is a ” U.S. CITIZEN AT BIRTH” , like he claims , which still falls short of Natural Born Citizen requirement needed for president.
I think the birth certificate , fake or not , is an excellent way to divert attention from the indisputable fact of his father. Kudos!
I like don’t get it,I mean he’s half European,what is your issue.Not even that can settle your ugly hatred in your soul,as if it matters in the 1st. place. Get people to working,solve the issues stopping the people of the land to live full,happy lives.
This distracts us every time from what we need to do. It’s shameful,really 1 must weep at this insanity.
Kudos…………………..,hehe
@063mymoney1 that barely makes any sense… could you review that and make your point clear. I can’t even begin to respond to that due to the purely ignorant way your retort was stated
@SharkTheArdvark Well i predict the American people have begun to awaken. Which they have, as demonstrated by the Tea Partiers. Maybe sanity can finally be restored to this once great nation.
@Sk8rZacUntitledSk8 sorry but this shows who’s crazy in this brief exchange. If you think you are a better choice then run for it and more power to you. As for “all” vs “some” of the promises, it is “some” as documented on multiple media outlets including the republicans favorite media outlet. As to “socialist” sorry to say you don’t know anything about the dots on the line strung between pure capitalism and pure communism. I do predict that he will win again based on the competition at present!
@SharkTheArdvark Of course there are better alternatives! Are you kidding! I’m a better alternative for God’s sake! And he didn’t fulfill any of his promises. He floated into office BECAUSE of being black, and utilizing good old propaganda.. He’s a socialist and a liar. Exactly what the Democratic party has come to.
@Sk8rZacUntitledSk8 not to anger the racists no. There are no better alternatives at present time that are electable. So when President Obama wins 2012 then racists will be angered yet again. Remember that he didn’t win the first time because he’s black or white, he simply won based on the message. Sadly he didn’t follow through on some of his promises but still there are no better alternatives. So hope he wins as long as he remains the better choice.
@SharkTheArdvark So reelect a President that’s driving our country downhill simply on the basis of angering the racists?! ARE YOU INSANE?! You want to risk the country just so you can all smirk at the minority of angry racists?! Unbelievable. And even though Obama continues to murder babies, dive our economy, and increase our debt, you want to reelect him simply because he’s black. Wow. Wake up.
@aldenrichie Exactly! Everyone must do it. This is pure, leftist media BS.
In order to be the US President, you MUST be born in the United States, thus EVERY President must show their birth certificate. The leftist media is using this as a reason to bash Republicans at the same time that Obama’s popularity is beginning to reach rock-bottom. Allen West is a black CONSERVATIVE, of whom the Republicans SUPPORT. He would be a fantastic black president. I judge him not on the color of his skin, but on the content of his character. And it’s Obama’s CHARACTER that I dont like
! This has been and hopefully will be the only time that anyone specially African Americans or Hispanics outside white people questioning American patriotism or have their civil rights interrupted through a grandson stupidity and racism. Settle down region history books let me know if any other president that you know of has ever went through what a BARACK OBAMA is going through.
@aldenrichie
are you really serious are did you just get off the boat of insanity. ! This has been and hopefully will be the only time that anyone specially African Americans or Hispanics outside of your white have to be questioned about their American patriotism or have their civil rights interrupted through a grandson stupidity and racism. Settle down region history books let me know if any other president that you know of has ever went through what a BARACK OBAMA is going through.
when will this shit ends.
white men also have to “produce their papers” it’s 1 of the things required in order to become a president of these great states. Trump may be an idiot, I won’t argue against that. It shouldn’t have been as large an issue as it was made out to be. Obama is the president for god’s sake I am pretty sure if he told the State of Hawaii to release his PERSONAL birth certificate it wouldn’t have been that hard…and now as we see it wasn’t and he did.
@vvvSeVeNvvv
Apparently you are either blind, or you are racist yourself. Even, some of the other anglo saxons believe this is a racist move. You really need to check yourself.
